During the cell cycle, proteins called cyclins bind to enzymes that send signals for the cell to progress through stages of cell replication. At the end of this cycle, the cyclins degrade to prevent further signaling for the cell to divide. Uncontrolled production of cyclins will most likely result in —
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the consequences of uncontrolled production of cyclins during the cell cycle, which are proteins that regulate cell division. The options provided suggest different potential outcomes of this uncontrolled production.
Answer
The formation of tumors.
The final answer is the formation of tumors.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is the formation of tumors.
More Information
Cyclins and CDKs regulate the cell cycle, ensuring cells replicate correctly. If cyclins are uncontrolled, they can lead to excessive cell division, resulting in tumor formation.
Tips
A common mistake is thinking that cyclin production would cause cell death or transfer, but it's the unchecked division leading to tumors.
